System Design & Engineering
Comprehensive and thoughtful system design and engineering up front leads to the best balance of functionality, reliability and aesthetics in the end result. Avoid costly mistakes or order changes, having to do something twice, or tearing up walls once they’ve been closed. Careful attention is given to the numerous details involved with smart technology and integrated systems to ensure they are easy to use and deliver consistent performance and allow for future expansion or upgrades. Everything from wiring infrastructure, hardware location, control device placement, user interface design, power management and blending equipment with architectural elements and interiors is planned out in advance. We coordinate with architects, engineers, interior designers, general contractors, and affected sub-contractors.
Lighting Design
Not only will our team engineer your lighting control system, but we also offer in-house lighting design services. During lighting design, we select fixtures and accent lighting, create a layout, and do so in tandem with your lighting control solution. We identify where keypad and dimmer locations will be called out and create lighting scenes to best create a space that is warm and inviting while enhancing the natural beauty of your home.
Project Management
A smart technology project takes effective planning, organizing, and allocating resources to make sure it’s completed on time and with the desired result at fit and finish. Additionally, procedures and protocols need to be met and unforeseen problems should be resolved quickly. Our dedicated project managers oversee all details and consistently communicate with the contractor, subcontractors and owner. Job sites are dynamic with many moving parts and having a solid, experienced person responsible to bring it altogether makes all the difference. Given the multi-faceted nature of integrating different sub-systems from audio/video, lighting control, climate, security, networking, and we take a proactive approach and over-communicate every step of the way.
Installation
Putting all the parts and pieces together for smart technology and integrated systems need to be executed with skill, precision, and some finesse. As much as we value our manufacturer partners, different products and brands have nuances that require special know-how and experience to optimize installation and access all the needed functionality. Our trained technicians receive ongoing education and stay up to date on the latest standards and best practices. We take pride in executing your system design with quality craftsmanship so it functions as desired and is reliable.
Programming
Programming all of your technology to work together takes years of training and experience to master. Getting all of the products to talk to each other is only the beginning—the real artistry is in creating an interface that is easy to use and logic to make it all work together to meet your needs. Our programmers work closely with our design and sales team to ensure that your system will function the way you want it and be intuitive for daily users or people just visiting.
